White House: 'No Daylight' Between Sessions, DeVos On Transgender Order

Source: Talking Points Memo


By ESME CRIBB Published FEBRUARY 22, 2017, 1:17 PM EDT

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday denied reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos clashed over an upcoming executive order expected to weaken protections for transgender students.

"There's no daylight between anybody, between the President, between any of the secretaries," Spicer told reporters at his daily press briefing.

He said there has been "some discussion" regarding "the timing of the issuance and recommendations, or between the exact wording," but that the order's ultimate conclusions were not at issue.

"I've made this clear and the President's made it clear throughout the campaign that he's a firm believer in state's rights and that certain issues like this are not best dealt with at the federal level," Spicer said. "I would expect further guidance to come out on that today."

Every single one of them are awful semi-humans or Drumpf wouldn't have picked them. I am surprised at DeVos on this, but of course she put her boss over her principals, small though they may be.

Like when meeting with Netanyahu and discussion US-Israel relations.

Maybe it's included in the Trump Loyalty Oath? Smells like a propaganda meme is evolving....

Let me guess, one thinks they should be tortured and jailed and the other thinks they should just be put to death?
